MINERS SINCE NATIONALIZATION

PAGE TWO

FOR MANY years the alternative for miners appeared to be the Com- munist Party, or in recent times, 'lefts' like Laurence Daly, who were sup- ported by the Com- munist Party. Until Daly's election, the chief office in the union— general secretary—had been held since nationalization by members of the Communist Party-first, Arthur Horner and then Will Paynter. Horner, in the first days of nationalization, assiduously opposed strikes as 'betrayals of the Labour government' (not a word about the Labour government's betray- als of the miners!) and he intervened personally to try to end the 1947 Grimethorpe strike. The record of the more recent Will Paynter, a member of the Communist Party for 40 years and now holding down a Wilson's £6,500-a-year job on Commission on Industrial Re- lations, was analysed at length in 'The Newsletter' (February 4 and February 25, 1969).

Paynter had been pushed for this 'plum' job by "The

'His outstanding perform- ance at the NUM during the contraction of the industry and his constant advocacy of a rational plan for restructuring the unions has won him many • Wilso admirers? (February 1, 1969.)

But Paynter devoted his 'outstanding performances' to industrial stopping action against pit closures. His most blatant perform- intervention his ance was against the New Monckton men in 1966. When 1,600 men lost their jobs at this pit the Yorkshire area council decided to fight. 'Co-operation' A right-wing Yorkshire area official, Sid Schofield, then phoned Paynter and received a letter from him in. which he declared that pit closures were government policy and that the union could not change that policy without the support of 'the whole labour and trade union movement'. Paynter urged the Yorkshire- to co-operate with the men Coal Board in the closure of New Monckton and this inter- vention enabled the right wing in the Yorkshire area leader- ship to reverse the previous decision to take action against the closure. However, Paynter's reference to 'the whole labour and trade union movement' was merely a blind to cover his retreat before pit closures. Towards the end of 1967 both the Scottish and York- of the NUM shire areas demanded a special re-call

conference of the Labour Party over closures. Paynter then wrote to the Yorkshire area saying that 'no served pur acting on this useful would be suggestion. (The texts of both these letters were published in 'The Newsletter', February 25, 1969.) In fact, Paynter's only gesture in relation to closures was to offer concessions to the very government which was closing the pits !

Fighting talk indeed! Every miner in the land knows he is working himself out of a job and that the many • Wilson government cynically broke its promises made to the miners in 1964. Paynter's attitude to the miners, however, was much more fierce. In April 1967 at South Wales he placed the blame for the economic ills of the industry not on the inter- est payments which are bleed- ing it white, but on the miners themselves! His attack on absenteeism gave the green light to every vindictive manager in the land to launch an 'efficiency' drive against the men. Throughout all this, the Party defended Communist and many sincere Paynter rank-and-file members desper- ately sought for fig leaves with which to cover him. The line was the same as that which is dragged out again to defend noW Daly-he is in a minority in national executive, he the doesn't really want to do what he is doing, secretly he 'sym- pathizes' with • the militants, etc., etc. This would make a mockery members' of all the Party efforts to get their leading members in official positions il all they can do when they get there is behave as ventrilo- quists' dummies for the right wing. But, in any case, it is just not true. Paynter demonstrated this himself in 1964 when a special delegate conference called for

a strike in support of a fl increase for day-wage men.

All the main areas supported this demand against the oppo- sition of the NEC. Here was Paynter's oppor- tunity! He had the ranks solidly behind him, and a con- ference vote to back it up.

Now he could really go to war against the right wing.

He went to war, right enough-against the militants.

Today backon pree dale he joined the government's Commission gainst pit closures. Miners, instead, have 's like this one at the Brighton (a ballot with a two-thirds majority before a strike can be official) he and Ford toured the country opposing strike action on the eve of the ballot.

Paynter openly declared that he was speaking not only for the NEC, but for himself, and to underline this, the right- wing area council in Lancashire and had his speech printed distributed to every branch in the area in time for the vote.

Paynter's parting gift to his was a public state- members ment in 'The Guardian' to the effect that the unions should base their strategy not on the economic and financial require- ments of their members, but on those of the employers!

'Government — Labour or Conservative-is in industrial to stay. We relations are facing a permanent and irre- versible change in society. Our collective bargaining strategy depends the overall on economic and financial require- groups-the of ments two government and the dominant employers.' ('The Guardian', December 6, 1968.) Degeneration But Paynter's story is not merely the story of one man's political degeneration. It is the story of Stalinism in Britain. Dominated by the theory of peaceful transitions to social- ism, Party the Communist failed to build and train Marx- ists in the unions. In the immediate post-war years the Communist Party held leading positions in a number of key unions--such as the National Union of Mine- workers, the Electrical Trades Union, the Fire Brigades Union and • the Amalgamated Engineering Union amongst others. Party members were fre- quently reassured • that when

class battles developed, the Party would come into its own because of its industrial strength. Yet now • the Communist Party has lost position after position in one union after another. After years of covering up for Paynter, Dash and Ether- idge it now-far from leading the growing militancy of the working class--devotes entire energies toward canal- izing it behind 'official' the "lefts' such leaderships of as Daly, Scanlon and Jack Jones.

These are not mistakes. It is the theories and policies of Stalinism which prevent any member of the Communist from developing Party as a revolutionary within its ranks.

always insisted on a Lenin fight against the ideas of even the best workers who came to the communist movement, to free them from the dominance of bourgeois ideology. He carried out this fight in the early Congresses of the Communist International and in writings such as 'Left-Wing Communism'. Decline Stalinism not only liquidated the leading cadres of the Com- munist International, it also abandoned the struggle for revolutionary consciousness amongst the advanced workers.

It is this which led to the betrayals in France and it is which accounts for the this industrial decline of the British Communist Party. The one great question which emerges from the recent strike over surface hours—-the big- gest miners' strike since 1926 - is the need and now the opportunity for a new leader- ship in the coalfield. Events are moving with lightning rapidity. Only a few months ago Daly was taken at face value by many miners. He was elected, with Communist Party sup- port, because the men believed would lead a fight on closures and wages. He had talked about strike action to stop closures. But in the strike over sur- face hours, Daly stood out against the miners. Branch after branch, meet- ing after meeting demanded the resignations of both Ford and Daly. Labour League Socialist members, of course, supported Daly against the right-wing candidate, but we warned that

it would be a big mistake to place full confidence. in him because he was not committed to the overthrow of capitalism.

At that time the Communist Party said we were 'sectarian' and many members of the NUM believed them. At least, they were willing to give Daly a chance. Well, he has had his chance now. So, the record is that the wing, the Communist right Party and the Labour lefts' have all betrayed. Yet the hours strike, like the Cadeby strike which pre- ceded it, shows what a wealth of fight there is in the working class. But today more and . more miners are beginning to realize that a completely new leader- ship must be built. It was Jock Kane and Sammy Taylor of the Communist Party who accompanied right-wing officials Schofield and Lee in trying to talk the Cadeby men into going back to work. And the Yorkshire area council of the NUM as was pointed out in Workers Press at the time-tried to use the hours question to wriggle out of a fight over wages and were caught in their own trap.

All the miners' pent-up re- sentments, accumulated over the years, burst to the surface.

But this strike, spreading like a forest fire through York- shire, Derbyshire, Nottingham- shire, Wales, Kent and Scot- land, did more than put the right wing on the spot. Spectre It threatened the govern- ment's incomes policy and raised the spectre of new leadership in the mines. Every political tendency ex- Socialist Labour cept the League was thus compelled to work to bring the strike to an end. For the Communist Party it was not simply a matter of failing to train militants as Marxists. They have now gone much farther than that. They are the most reaction- ary force in the labour move- ment. They lined up openly with TUC general secretary Vic Feather, claiming that his intervention was a 'break- through'. Communist Party members were divided and demoralized.

In the Yorkshire area panels some CP members were call- ing for an end to the strike.

Others turned up to lobby the Yorkshire area council against the sell-out and had to refuse to read the 'Morning Star' in of political opponents front because they could not justify the line it caried. The unofficial strike com- mittees were unable, because of their limited political posi- tion, to carry a fight through against the combined oppo- sition of the government, the Coal Board and their own union leaders, 'left' and right.

As a result, they ran to Victor Feather to get them off the hook and called off the strike without consulting the strikers. Shortly afterwards, a pam- phlet appeared called 'What Next For Britain's Miners?'

Whilst containing some criti- cisms of Lawrence Daly and calling for democratic reforms within the National Union of Mineworkers, this pamphlet leaves out the main question -the construction of a new leadership.

• Build a revolutionary lead- ership in the unions through the All Trades Unions Alli- ance and the Workers Press, together with workers in other industries, particularly engineering, cars and docks.

This is a programme around which a new leadership can be built in the mines. On the move The treachery of the TUC leaders in the 1926 General Strike isolated the miners for many years from other sec- tions of the working class.

They sought their salvation in a Labour government and hopes of nationalization. They have had both of these and been disappointed in both.

The sell-out of the surface hours strike can bring only a temporary respite. The miners, like the car- workers, dockers, dustmen, firemen and schoolteachers, are on the move. The Wilson government, under orders from the inter- national bankers, must resist.

Trotsky's analysis and con- from the General clusions Strike-the need to construct a revolutionary leadership in the unions-is more valid to- day than ever before. What is involved now is not an industrial struggle but a political struggle-linking on to the struggle carried on by the Young Socialists against all the betrayals of the Wilson government since 1964.

Thureday, December 4, 1069 An electron microscope photograph of pure THE ISOLATION of a group of pure genes from a microscopic, but living, organism constitutes a major step forward in our understanding of the origin of life and the causes of inherited diseases. As was to be expected, this advance in the science of genetics, carried through by a team of young research workers in the Harvard Medical school, has sent shudders through the middle class by raising the spectre of supermen, that is, the pos- sibility of breeding human beings to some pre-selected specification. The cries of protest in de- fence of the sanctity of the individual, which are emitted on these occasions, is the de- fence of the 'divine right' of millions to die of disease and starvation. However, genetics is still a very young science and the sort of 'genetic engineering' involved changing characteristics of humans (or even plants) is still some way in the future. There is a huge gap between the mam- manipulation malian cells and the bacterial cells used by the Americans.

As "The Times' expressed it: *.. the progress by the American team makes the same contribution to genetic engineering as Newton's for- mulation of physical laws did to the landing of men on the moon.'

gation was heresy. The division between living and non-living matter was con- sidered absolute. Man wait assessed oth 'vital divine fashioned in the image of God.

Even Kepler, who perceived the the orbital motion of planets over 350 years ago, thought that fish could arise by generation from spontaneous salt water of the seas. Even Darwin, whose theory of evolution was based on the assumption of the existence of heritable variations among in- dividuals of the same species, knew nothing about the pat- tern that heredity follows.

Ironically, while Darwin was writing in 1872 that 'the laws governing inheritance are for the most part unknown', the answers had been revealed six years previously by Mendel, a Silesian monk. Genetics It was not until 1900 that his work became known and it was realized that 1866 had seen the establishment of gene- tics as a science obeying objec- tive laws. It it worth while describing one of Mendel's investigations in detail. Mendel studied the effects of the crossbreeding of two plants endowed with contrasting traits. If red-flowered and white-flowered peas were al- lowed to self-fertilize, with no possibility of cross-feritiliza- tion, the plants yielded seeds which bred true to type-red or white, like their parents.

However, when cross-ferti- lization took place, he found that all the seeds gave rise to red flowers, but when this new • of red flowers was generation cross-fertilized, seeds were

produced that gave rise to charac both red and white peas in the proportion of three to one.

As over a thousand plant- ings had been carried out initially, there was no pos- sibility that this was a chance result. Precisely the same propor- tion was revealed of tall to short plants in a further inves- tigation. Mendel correctly concluded that there are factors in peas which determine their colour and height. These factors be- came known as genes and are transmitted by a single pollen (or sperm in the case of ani- mals). The factor for redness or tallness is dominant, in that it asserts itself over the recessive gene (whiteness or shortness).

Why are some genes domi- nant and other recessive?

As yet, the detailed mechan- ism is not known, but with this assumption it is relatively simple to explain Mendel's results. Ist fertilization: Genes White white-red Red 2nd fertilization: Gene pairs White-red White-red The concept of dominance, together with that of gene pair- ing, is sufficient to explain Mendel's results-three red peas to one white. During the 100 years follow- ing the publication of Mendel's findings, scientists have slowly pieced together the molecular mechanisms which unerringly achieve the transmission of heritable traits to the offspring.

The discovery that all the larger organisms, animals and plants were composed of cells was a great landmark in the history of biology. It was effec- tually completed by Pasteur when he showed that all cells, even the smallest single-celled bacteria, are produced by other cells. An up-to-date picture of the cell, as revealed by the latest electron microscopes, is shown below. It would need 5,000 such cells to cover one full-stop on this page! emphasises the This only enormous refinements in tech- fire the tustitueces of bee cell could be analyzed in detail and their role in the reproduc- tive process established.

The cell membrane is broken down either by mechanical grinding with some abrasive substance, sonic vibration or 'bY dissolved an enzyme (the protein 'trigger' which sets off a reaction). Components The cell's contents are then exposed to 100,000 times the force of gravity in a centrifuge.

As the rotation increases, the various components of the cell sediment out one by one and can be collected for individual examination. The two major questions are: what are the roles of the cell's constituents? How are the basic molecular building-blocks duplicated in the process of replacement of worn-out cells and in the re- during productive process, which the cell 'grows a second set of innards' and splits to form two cells? The cell membrane recog- nizes with its molecular mem- ory the hundreds of com- pounds swimming around it and permits or denies passage according to the cells require- ments. The function of the mito- chondrion emerged in the early 1950s as the furnace of the cell: It embodies 40 enzymes process glucose and which store its energy in a form readily usable by the cell—a kind of molecular battery.

It also burns up fragments of worn-out cell components and it has been established that most of the molecules of which our bodies are composed are completely renewed once every few days! Wit reside the threa ere of the Th an •g. located in a some. In om divided several chromosomes. In Sonne mater

characteristic in any one cell.

These are the (loosely label- led) 'gene pairs', referred to above connection with Mendel's laws. When a cell divides, the genetic information embodied in the DNA is passed on to the two daughter cells during this process. Each chromosome is dupli- cated, drawn to opposite sides of the nucleus, • which then splits, followed by the rest of the cell. The pinpointing of DNA as the basic hereditary material took place in 1944, but it was not until 1953 that Watson and Crick put forward their famous double-helix model for DNA-like two intertwined springs. Replication takes place in the following way. two strands separate The like the two halves of a zip.

Then each half fashions a new 'mate' for itself, using its old 'mate' as the model. Combinations Appearance red Appearance Combinations white-white white white-red red red-white red red-red red Thus the exact replication of DNA (and therefore the gene) is ensured. How does the DNA spell out its instructions for the building of a particular protein mole- cule? The problem of 'decoding' DNA seemed enormous. It was calculated that the storage of information for the proteins of a bacillus would require a closely typed 3,000-page book!

Code cracked However, without going into further detail, it is, perhaps, sufficient to relate that the code was cracked in 1961, but that there still remains much confusion over its validity.

The superb technical feat that Dr Jonathan Beckwith and his colleagues have performed at Harvard is the isolation of a specific gene from a specific bacterium. Now that the technique has been proven, it can readily be applied to other genes. Why is this important? One thing is certain. If only one letter in the genetic code is incorrect, the result can be fatal for the living organism— cancer or some equally des- tructive disease may result.

A model of the DNA molecule with the 'intertwined springs' of phosphate--sugar chains surrounding base pairs. Conversely, a further refine- ment of technique may see a cure for such 'natural' scourges through 'genetic engineering'.

Why did Dr Beckwith call a press conference and express his dismay at the possibilities for genetic manipulation?

The 'New Scientist' says that 'it is not only the skills of scientists that worry him, but also the proven ineptitude of governments in applying them'.

No doubt there are many realize, like Dr Beckwith who if only superficially, that im- perialism can turn man's great- est scientific achievements into weapons of destruction. Destruction It is ironical that Nixon pro- poses the destruction of bac- teriological weapons at the same time as American scien- tists put within the grasp of his masters the means for blue- printing viruses against which there can be no defence. The full implications of 'genetic engineering-the free- ing of mankind from disease and the conscious improve- ment of his physical and men- tal qualities--can only be real- ized when he is liberated from the day-to-day battle tor the basic necessities of life.

It is this task that the social- ist revolution must carry out.

articles in The next two 'Scientific World' will deal with the controversy over the origin of life in the universe and genetics under Stalinism— the Lysenko period. SOUTH AFRICA is rather different from the other countries of Africa.

The other countries are plain and simple economic colonies (semi-colonies) of Britain, western Europe and the United States, in the main, with Japan a more recent addition to the list of imperialist powers operating in Africa. South Africa, on the other hand, is, to use a definition which Trotsky made in a letter to South African Fourth Inter- nationalists during the 1930s, 'a slave colony for the Blacks and a Dominion (partner of imperialism) for the Whites'.

It has all the features of a semi-colony as far as the 14 million people whom the Dutch, British and Boers classify as 'non-European', or 'non-White' 'Black' or or 'Kaffirs' or Colored' or 'Natives' or whatever the mood of the used in the term hundreds of racial laws on the Statute Books of South Africa.

All sub-divisions of the so- classified non-White 'races' are both super-exploited and super- oppressed The vast majority of the 11t million so-classified 'Bantu', of the two million so- classified 'Coloured' (defined as 'neither White nor Black' by the 1951 Population Regis- tration Act) and of the 750,000 classified as 'Asians', are land- less, rightless, voiceless, pro- pertyless, segregated and regi- mented cheap labour working mainly for big companies with headquarters in London or other 'Western' capitals.

Virtual slaves They virtually, the are, slaves of absentee monopoly- capitalists. For this majority, forming some three-quarters the population, the country is a semi-colony, 'slave- more: a colony'. Their daily lives prove that Trotsky's definition was no exaggeration. But for the other quarter, million, the four approxi- ^ 'Euro- mately, of so-classified peans' 'Whites', South or Africa is a 'Dominion', like Canada, Australia New or Zealand in the days of the 'White' Commonwealth of (British) Nations. have full legal For they rights, a parliament, own or occupy property, earn super- profits if they are employers and super-wages if they are workers and live on top of the colour bar beneath which they keep down the non-whites.

county—with one main differ- ence, for them, namely that oceans separate oppressor like Britain from the nations nations they oppress; but in Africa the 'oppressor South nation' sits immediately on the necks of the oppressed, regard- ing the oppressed people as the subject of their part 'White'-ruled 'nation'. The imperialism of 'White' South Africa is, firstly, part of world- the imperialism capitalism, especially of Britain.

One of the things this column will try to do is to show that British imperial- ism is very real and is by no means 'dead'. That it is dying is clear, but its death-throes are no joke in Atrica, any more than in Asia or parts of 'Latin' America.

'White' South Africa is a bastion of world imperialism, a fore-runner and huge version of other bastions of the Israel type. It is a military bastion of NATO against 'communism' i.e. the revolution in Africa in the Russian continuation of and Chinese Revolutions. Shares fell It is a major economic bastion, especially of British capital, a fact which was borne

out in the autumn when shares of British companies on the . South African Exchange fell nominally by £2 billion and this was estimated by South African economists to be nearly one-third of the nominal capital in stocks and shares.

Which means that Britain's capital was nominal quoted £6 billion in South some Africa. The 'plunge' in Johannesburg shares gave some idea of the extent of British capital in South Africa, enough, at any fate, to show that it is massive.

There are many other and more reliable ways of esti- mating the depth and extent of British economic 'participation' in South Africa's economy; all which show that economy is 'very British in- deed', and that 'South the African' economy is very much a part of the 'British' economy, which extends far beyond the shores of Britain. the moment, At with so much 'public attention' on the Springbok Rugby tour Britain, the deep, basic, eco- nomic, political and also mili- tary facts are covered up and hidden, especially the fact that at the base of the South African economy lie British investments. Misleading The cry of the anti-apart- heid demonstrators in Wales: 'Springboks Out' (of Britain) can even be a misleading one.

For the problem of liberation in South Africa, as in many other parts of Africa is, rather, how to get 'Britain out' (of Africa). However, in order to under- stand this better, it is neces- sary to find out to what extent and in what way Britain is 'in' South Africa. Using the nominal share- mentioned, of f6 bil- figures lion, and known rates of profit in South Africa, would give British capital more than a billion pounds (£1,000 million) from South profits a year Africa. Some of this is re-invested, part is exported back to the UK or elsewhere. But this is one rough in- dication of the scope of British economic control over South Africa-that is of the super- exploitation by British capital of the prisoners of the 'slave colony'. To give an idea of Britain's from South Africa : profits they amount to about a quarter of the profits of the capitalist class in Britain itself. Which means that about a quarter to a fifth of what is called 'Britain' or the 'British economy' is not here but in South Africa.
